HEY GUYS , its been a long road but the whitehawk is finally finished it was at mk in the british race tent amongst some amazing builds from sawzall and animal i have loved every minute of this build and today the journey was finished with it being seen in the flesh by the man who built it in 1982 the legend that is mick whitlock he was over the moon to see what i had done with the ole girl
we had a good chat about the time he had spent in the bmx world and how he had loved every minute of it saying what a wonderful and happy time it was in this life , he explained how mine had been an early model and then went on to tell me how he had made the differnt models and how impressed he was with phils sawzalls two and how rare that phils cruiser must be being he only ever made 6 of them , he then went on to show me pics of the team as was back in the day i will upload more pics when i have them it was real nice to see this man being reunited with somthing he had built all those years ago .
he also brought me a copy of the wally whitehawk sticker which as a boy i had even seen on a french kids gt when on an exchange trip to le harve he had appaenrtly heard of this wonderful shop in le harve and hopped on ferry ridden to horndean and bought some bits including the wally whaitehawk stickers
i would also like to take this chance to thank phil for my trophey from mk as "sawzalls pick british race bike "of mk13 which means that we had 2 mk official winners best old school cruiser and bike of show tiim march rep and one phil winner so i am one happy bunny thanks guys
